At a time when Reggaeton is topping the charts globally, while Puetro Rican people are making headlines for their struggle for autonomy, Lester Rey's new EP "Epifania" provides a perfect soundtrack for the new era of discourse on social justice, search for new identities, and new experiments in cross-cultural interchange. Lester seamlessly blends the musical traditions of his heritage like Bomba and Cha-cha-cha with his love of contemporary Hip Hop, Soul and R&B to create a sound of unity for the Caribbean diaspora. We spoke with Chicago singer, producer and percussionist about the new music, his mixed cultural and musical identities, and his search for greater openness and honesty in his artistic practice.
